Manchester United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone has joined Championship play-off hopefuls Aston Villa on loan for the rest of the season.It is the 23-year-old's eighth loan move away from Old Trafford.He has previously been at Scunthorpe United, Walsall, Yeovil, Doncaster Rovers (twice) and his home town club Preston (twice).Johnstone was part of Preston 's promotion-winning team to the Championship in 2014-15.He is the first signing made by Villa boss Steve Bruce.
Is he going to be first choice then?
I think he was guaranteed game time as part of the deal, makes you wonder if that's Gollini off now.
At this moment in time, this one seems completely pointless to me, but there you go. At least we're looking at other deals which make a lot more sense as well.

If this kid is better than why not bring him in?
